history
Project history and usage
goreman is Yasuhiro Matsumoto's Go clone of Foreman, using the Procfile convention to run multiple development processes from one command.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created on September 13, 2012. Its README explicitly identifies the project as a Foreman clone written in Go and links to the original ddollar/foreman project as the model.
Adoption history
goreman found a niche among Go and Heroku-style development workflows that wanted Procfile process orchestration without installing the Ruby Foreman toolchain. Package-manager metadata in the input records availability through apk, Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop.
How it is used
Users define commands in a Procfile and run goreman start. The README says goreman starts each Procfile command, displays output, forwards signals to each process, and exposes an RPC-driven goreman run path for commands against managed processes.
Why package nerds care
The package is small but useful as a cross-platform, single-binary implementation of a convention that appears in web-app and service-development repositories. It is often chosen when the package story matters more than a feature-rich supervisor.
